The man who first spotted land on Christopher Columbus' journey was Rodrigo de Triana, a sailor on the Niña. He was promised a reward of a lifetime pension of 10,000 maravedis by Columbus for his discovery. However, Columbus later claimed that he was entitled to the reward instead, and Triana received no payment for his accomplishment. This led to a dispute over the rightful recognition and reward for the discovery of land in the New World.
In 1493 Columbus left for his 2nd voyage.
